TRINITY #14-17
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman lead the heroes of the DCU against the machinations of their malevolent counterparts, resulting in a cataclysmic event that will change the world – but not like anyone involved expects. Plus, Hawkman and Gangbuster make their move to rescue Tarot, and Konvikt breaks loose.
Because I can't resist a weekly, apparently.
FINAL CRISIS #4
It's one month after the Anti-Life Equation was released worldwide. Millions now toil as slaves of Darkseid, while the Justifier shock troops of Apokolips lay waste to the planet Earth and hunt down its protectors.
The remaining free humans and superheroes are stationed around the world, besieged within the walls of ten very familiar 'Watchtowers', as they fight a desperate, losing battle against the triumphant forces of evil.
While Green Arrow and Black Canary attempt to deliver the secret of humanity's last hope across America's blasted wastelands, the Outsiders brave the horrors of the Bludhaven bunker in search of Batman. The ultimate battle is coming...but which heroes will become villain – and vice versa? And what part do the Secret Society have to play in the dawning of this new Age of Evil?
Darkness is falling and death rules the day. Is this truly the end of the Age of Super Heroes? Don't miss FINAL CRISIS #4: “How to Murder the Earth!”
Okay, that's a long damn description.
SECRET SIX #1
Because you demanded it! The Secret Six are back in an all-new ongoing series that promises to deliver some of the darkest, most twisted action-adventure the DC Universe has seen since...well, the last time the Secret Six got together! Writer extraordinaire Gail Simone (BIRDS OF PREY) is reunited with BIRDS penciller Nicola Scott to chronicle the adventures of the Six, and you will not believe what they have in store. Join Catman, Scandal, Deadshot, Ragdoll, and ?? as they prepare for an adventure that will take them through a gauntlet across the seediest parts of the DC Universe, and will ultimately pit them against a foe more monstrous and murderous than any they've had to face! Don't miss the beginning of the most ferocious and scandalous Six story yet!
This would be the book I'm most looking forward to, except that Deadpool got there first. :)
TITANS #5
When Raven's half-brothers return to claim her and unite Trigon's bloodline, Raven must choose which ties are stronger: the family she was born to, or the new family she has made.
Hm, that's a tough one...
BATGIRL #3
Batgirl, Marque and an unexpected ally cross swords – and daggers, spears and whips – with the deadly Daughters of David Cain! Also, Cassandra's worked hard to keep her private mission of vengeance secret from her allies – but is that enough?
Again, hope this one's good. The kid is looking forward to it.
DETECTIVE COMICS #848
A “Batman: R.I.P.” tie-in! “Heart of Hush” Part 3 of 5! To save the sanity of a kidnapped child, Batman must confront the Scarecrow! But their battle is just a part of Hush's plot against Batman and Bruce Wayne, setting the stage for the most shocking surprise ending of the year! Guest-starring Catwoman!
I'm getting this because of the Hush storyline, and will likely drop it immediately after.
BIRDS OF PREY #122
Zatanna lends a hand when Manhunter's fears begin to take over her mind, while the Visionary sends his Scavengers after the Birds of Prey! Also: The Joker comes a-calling on Barbara Gordon!
Zinda's on the cover! I hope that means she's featured in the story.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #28
Written by Peter J. Tomasi
Art by Luke Ross & Fabio Laguna
Cover by Rodolfo Migliari
As Kyle and Guy deal with personal issues on Oa, several Lanterns search for whoever’s been gruesomely removing the eyes of their relatives. Meanwhile, the Guardian known as Scar summons Lantern Saarek for a mission that will lead directly into The Blackest Night.
I guess I'm kind of looking forward to Blackest Night, although I'm wondering whether another big Green Lantern-focused story could do well so soon after the Sinestro Corps.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #19
“One World, Under Gog” continues! The Justice Society begins to dissolve as Gog vows to bring peace to Earth...in a way that frightens some and thrills others. But with Hawkman around, it’s not going to be a simple debate. Plus, Starman reveals his concerns about the team’s future to Mr. Terrific while Power Girl struggles to come to terms with her greatest desire!
I am not, generally, a big fan of the Great Big Huge Cosmic World-Changing Story. But I've been liking this.
WONDER WOMAN #24
After Diana's high-profile showdown with the devil is broadcast worldwide, Hollywood comes calling with a surefire proposal: WONDER WOMAN: THE MOVIE! It's the summer blockbuster to end all blockbusters, but will Diana play along? And will the project get back-burnered permanently by a terrorist with a grudge against the Amazons?
Could be interesting. Actually, the thing about the current Wonder Woman is that even when the story doesn't sound all that good (Beowulf?) it seems to end up that way.
GREEN LANTERN: IN BRIGHTEST DAY TP
Acclaimed GREEN LANTERN writer Geoff Johns selects and provides commentary on his favorite tales of the Emerald Guardian, originally printed in GREEN LANTERN #7, 40, 59, 162, 173, 177, 182, 183 and 188, GREEN LANTERN (Second Series) #51, GREEN LANTERN CORPS QUARTERLY #6 and GREEN LANTERN CORPS ANNUAL #2.
Hm. Maybe. I try not to get more than one trade a month and I'm already getting the Captain America...but this looks pretty good, has all five Lanterns on the cover and all that.
SCOOBY-DOO #136
The Scoobs get the jump on Halloween with a night of thrills, chills...and goblins?! Get in gear for the most exciting holiday of the season with this companion to the all-new Scooby movie, Scooby-Doo and the Shadow Goblins!
As always, Scooby for the nine-year-old.
